My Emacs Workflow - As a Software Engineer and Student

Thanks for the workflow example and explanations. That is what I like to see. How others work with Emacs and that gives me ideas. 🙂

btw in Emacs you can do M-x man

fun fact, you can do:
emacs -nw
in the terminal to use emacs in the terminal

Hmm. Interesting a lot of what you showcase I have already implemented into my neovim setup.

what theme do you use?

What’s the font

Why oh why are you talking about running basically "man xyz | cat" inside a terminal inside Emacs instead of just using M-x man !? Emacs' own man page browser is so much better and easier to access than what you were talking about. I get that you used man as a placeholder for multiple other programs one might run from the terminal, but you really picked the wrong example here. Preferably this could have been the place to plug one of Emacs' multiple better implementations of certain man pages, including but not limited to M-x man or M-x info (which is SO MUCH BETTER than texinfo; just try reading zsh's info page inside Emacs — such a joy!).

How much of experience have you had before switching completely to Emacs?

Do you have anything to make writing code faster, like in sublime text they have this really nice autocomplete and enclosing of brackets when typing.

nice setup and video. I'm just (re)learning emacs after a long break. How do you get the minimalist look with no pull-downs ?. Are you running emacs in a terminal or standalone ? Also I really lke the vertical split windows. Is that standard or a package I have to add ?

What's wrong with your eyes man ?

Emacs is Life!!!!

I am interested as a "student!"

Hi. Thank you for your video! Mind to share your code for connecting nyxt and org-capture?

What distro do you use? Thank you for the video!

Bruh, what's the wallpaper? Would nicely match the vibe of my WindowMaker setup.

what is your class and age?

It's cool to see a good video on Emacs, I know almost nothing about it besides the memes lol

Ye who see, discover for yourself the apropos family of commands.

video has good content, but presentation was hard to follow. I agree with another commenter that quality is better than quantity.

I always enjoy seeing how differently people use Emacs compared to me. I have so much to learn! Thanks for sharing, Gavin. Subscribed!

Love how there is a tinder org file in the home dir lmfao

Hey Gavin I switched to StumpWM after I've watched your video on it, and it's pretty cool, but it's hard to find information about it online. Do you plan to make more videos about it?
For example, at the moment, when I have a floating window with other tiling windows, as soon as the floating window loses focus, it gets hidden by the tiling windows. Is there a way for the floating window to stay in front of the tiling ones, like in other WMs?

Love your videos Gavín

I laughed at the soydev comment and picture. good one Gavin didn't realize you were so based (should of realized by your love of Emacs and Lisp)

Didn't know about Ement and the compile-command in a file, I usually just use evil mode's :! command and VTerm. Thanks for this video, you always give me a lot of useful information every time you upload a video.

very very confused, are you fast with emacs

I see you using the default eMacs keys, I would love to know your opinions on xah fly keys

To look at man pages in Emacs, you can use the woman function, which will open the man page in it’s own buffer, and enable colors (and I think links) by default

Hey I think your config link is wrong in the description!
